Every Tuesday here at TMI Source is Tune Tuesday, where we share a song that relates to The Mortal Instruments, The Infernal Devices or The Dark Artifices.
This week’s Tune Tuesday– “Curl Up and Die” by Relient K–comes from TMI Source staffer Megan.
Ever since hearing this song I have thought that its perfect for Jem. The songs’ lyrics seem to express the feelings about someone who is dying and accepted it but the ones around them have not. I am not a Jem/Tessa shipper but this song makes me feel for Jem. It feels like Jem to me because all Jem wants to do is accept his fate and curl up with Tessa and die… in peace. It most definitely gives me “Jem feels” which is not an easy thing to do!
“Curl Up and Die” by Relient K
You see sometimes things are just beyond control
But I don’t mind
But I’m not surprised to find that you do
I’m not surprised to find that you do
I know you doAnd I feel fine
But I know the same does not apply to you
I know the same does not apply to you
So I guess that I’ll curl up and die, too.
LYRICS
“Curl Up and Die” by Relient K
To get to look
Into your deepest feelingsI don’t like the place I’m in
Headspace within the hardwood and the ceiling
Cause if I’m restless
Then why do I
I want nothing but to rest my soul
And I don’t get this and I know why
You see sometimes things are just beyond control
But I don’t mind
But I’m not surprised to find that you do
I’m not surprised to find that you do
I know you do
And I feel fine
But I know the same does not apply to you
I know the same does not apply to you
So I guess that I’ll curl up and die, too.
Clinging to the remnants of perfection
Like most do after they break it
Not knowing which directions the correct one
Do I discard or remake it
Cause if I don’t know then I don’t know
But I may know someone that knows me more than I
And if I somehow could rest this soul
Maybe control could find its way back to my life
But I don’t mind
You see I know that I have done all this to you
To you
Yeah I’ll curl up with you
Until I die with you [3x]
Yeah I’ll curl up with you yeah my baby, yeah my darlin’
Until I die with you…
